Elliot S. Schlissel

I recently worked with Elliot and his associates on a bankruptcy matter. Throughout the entire process, Elliot kept me well informed of all of my options, what was happening, and how to best handle the situation. He made sure that my interests were well represented and I was extremely pleased with ...the outcome. I would definitely recommend Elliot and his office for all of your legal needs.

This is a person that really cares about you and your needs. He is attentive, unrelenting and his fees are fair. In fact, his entire firm works together seamlessly to produce motions and petitions in a timely manner. His specialty is men's rights and he is adamant but polite in front of justices to ...get his point across. A real gem, and believe me I know since he is my 4th attorney. Google him and check out his informative blog.

I had a really difficult custody battle with my child's mother. The child's mother was bringing ACS proceedings against me and doing everything she could to alienate me from my child. When I brought my case to this law office they were very up front with me. They did not create unreasonable expectati...ons. They fought hard and were able to put me in a much better position than I would have been able to do on my own.

This was one of the most frustrating and destabilizing professional experiences I have ever had. Communication was consistently poor. I spent weeks trying to obtain basic information that should have been routine, and I repeatedly had to follow up just to get acknowledgment that my emails were rec...eived. Requests about billing, case status, and access to my own client file often went unanswered despite multiple follow-ups and approaching deadlines. Access to my own case file became an ordeal. Despite repeated requests, I was not provided a complete copy of my file. When I went to the office in person after being told in writing to do so, I was not allowed to review my file before being asked to sign documents, was not given a copy, and was left waiting for a prolonged period. The interaction with staff felt hostile and intimidating, which was deeply uncomfortable in a professional setting. Billing raised serious red flags. The invoice I eventually received contained vague descriptions, overlapping entries, inconsistent hourly rates, and unexplained charges that did not align with my understanding of the work performed. Requests for clarification were ignored or left unresolved, leaving me unable to meaningfully assess what I was being charged for. The cumulative effect of delayed billing, lack of transparency, and prolonged silence directly interfered with my ability to transition to new counsel and prepare for time-sensitive matters. The experience eroded any confidence I had in the firm’s ability to manage a matter efficiently. Nothing about this process felt client-centered. This review reflects my personal experience and documented interactions. Based on that experience, I strongly caution anyone considering this firm to keep meticulous records, insist on clear and timely communication, and closely scrutinize all billing. I would not choose this firm again.
